Bless you for your compassion. I lost my mom at Christmas this year. I live in a different state than she did so a nursing home was the answer for our family for the final year of her life. I'm an only child and Mom couldn't navigate the stairs at my house and fell 3 times at home before she went into the home. But after she adjusted, she was participating in as many activities and crafts as possible. We were able to get all of her legal affairs and will taken tare of. Have to sell her condo and auction her stuff but not in a hurry. I hope others on this board heed your advice.
